So after we moved from the rainbow back to our old camp in the Gerais
do Piata with about 10 friends, I was bitten by some nasty kind of
spider on a Friday afternoon. I spent the night in a good deal of
pain, sweating with trouble breathing. It wasnt too good. The pain
slowly made its way up my leg and started cramping in my lower
belly... The next day I started getting mild contractions about an
hour apart, not very regular. By sunset, they started becoming a
little stronger, and five minutes apart, it seemed like labour was
starting!
Everyone went to bed, expecting to be woken up for the birth, but
Sunday morning dawned bright and sunny and I was still having 5
minute contractions. We had a normal Sunday, made pancakes (see
moddy's website for a photo of my flipping pancakes in early
labour!), and I even went over to the house 1km away to do laundry
(even tho i had to sit down every 5 minutes!). By sunset I was tired
and fed up of it, and asked spirit for the next hour to be four
minute contractions, then an hour of 3 minutes, an hour of 2 minutes
and then the baby to be born.
The next contraction came after 4 minutes!
Then it started raining.
All our friends worked hard to collect a huge pile of firewood to
last the night, and 2 other friends showed up unexpectedly. They
boiled up about 20L of water, and we now know why one needs to have
boiled wather to give birth - to keep helpful people busy and out of
the way!
So the Labour progressed thru the night, contractions steadily
getting stronger and closer together, but they never quite got
regular. I'd have several contractions of 3 minutes, then one after
8 minutes, then a few of 4 mins, then 6 mins, again 3 mins for 1/2
hour, and then 5 mins... we got down to 2 minute contractions and it
seemed to be soon. Moddy was great thru the whole thing, he stayed
by my side and helped me thru every contraction. Heather, my doula
checked me when I was jsut about to lose my strength and freak out,
andshe announced that I was fully dilated. Such a relief.
The night was getting on and we were sure the baby would come with
the sunrise. When the first grey light showed thru the trees Moddy
kicked everyone out of the tipi to prepare for the birth. Only then
the contractions completely stopped! for 2 hours there was nothing.
It was freezing cold, I could barely move. but we tried to get it
giong again by going for a walk, but it was just too cold and I was
too tired. I took some cohosh tincture and eventually the
contractions started again, but so soft I could barely feel it. and
totally irregular.
Then it really started again, I got such strong contractions I
couldnt breathe thru it any more and I was just screaming. But still
nothing seemed to be happening. Aniha went to call a real midwife to
come. He turned out to be a french-canadian shaman who arrived on
motorbike from Lencois, about 3 hours away. He came mid-morning, and
gave me an awesonme massage. after about an hour he checked me and
said I was not dilated at all! Heather checked again and wasnt
sure - she didnt have much experience.
We were allin shock - something was going wrong. We decided to go to
the hospital. The hardest decision I ever had to make, but I was in
so much pain and so exhausted, I just wanted it to be over and I
didnt care how.
So we caravanned into town, Heather driving our car with Carolina to
translate in the front, and me lying on moddy's lap in the back.
Aniha followed in her car with a load of people and a couple of
others ran to the neighbour to beg a lift...
the 15km ride was the worst I've ever been thru. we stopped for
every contraction, and the car stalled out when we crossed the creek,
luckily it get going again quickly. Only we never made it to the
hospital. I guess we just needed a bumpy drive to bounce the baby
out, because when we got to the edge of town I felt the baby coming!
We stopped on the streetnext to the soccer field, Moddy sitting in
the back seat with me sitting on his lap, feet in the mud and our
crew milling around, holding blankets over us to keep the rain off.
A few deep breaths and out popped a purple head, shotly followed by a
screaming angel! At 2pm exactly, local time, ,Monday 14th April.
So she turned out to be a little girl, against all expectation, with
a head of red peach-fuzz and big dark blue eyes. She was so small
for one 2 weeks late - less than 3 kilos, but she's putting on
weight fast. We did a lotus birth and didnt cut the cord, but it
started to come off by itself on the evening of the 2nd day. Only it
was hanging by a thread and pulling, so we cut it off, and the stump
came away by itself that night and healed perfectly after 2 days.
So we have a beautiful baby girl, her red hair is fading to gingery- blonde and her eyes are a dark steel-grey that you cant tell if its
blue or brown, and she has a great voice that she loves practicing.
We jsut spent the last 2 1/2 weeks in our tipi in the forest, getting
used to having a baby. moddy had been the best father ever - he does
most of the diapers and most of the laundry and his share of middle
of the night wakefullness. I am so so blessed.
Now we are on the road again with no destination in mind
